The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

FBI Director Kash Patel is under fire over videos of him celebrating with the men’s U.S. hockey team. The FBI had said Patel’s trip to Italy was for official travel, but critics are now questioning that amid broader questions about his leadership. https://to.pbs.org/40vRZY8

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

The President of the United States raped underage women.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice β€” not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.

The agents committed murder.

It wasn’t a β€œbad shoot”. It was a killing

Mockler: Do you agree with Kristi Noem’s characterization that she made, like an hour after Alex Pretti was murdered?

Seat: Can you just wait until the investigation is done?

Mockler: That's such a good point. Can you say that to Kristi Noem?

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
